How to Install s-cart on Manjaro

s-cart is an eCommerce platform that allows developers to easily create online stores. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of s-cart on Manjaro Linux.

Prerequisites

Before installing s-cart, please make sure that you have the following prerequisites:

• Manjaro Linux installed on your system
• Apache web server installed and running
• PHP7 with some important extensions installed
• MySQL or MariaDB database installed and running
• Composer dependency management tool for PHP installed

Step 1: Download s-cart

To download s-cart, go to their official website at https://s-cart.org/ and click the "Download" button.

Alternatively, you can use the following command in your terminal:

wget https://s-cart.org/download

Step 2: Install Composer

To install Composer, run the following command in your terminal:

sudo pacman -S composer

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Change your directory to where you downloaded s-cart and run the following command:

cd /path/to/s-cart
composer install

Step 4: Create a Database for s-cart

Now we need to create a database for s-cart. In this tutorial, we will use MySQL as our database.

mysql -u root -p

Enter your MySQL root password when prompted and then create a new database and user for s-cart:

CREATE DATABASE s_cart;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON s_cart.* TO 's_cart_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 's_cart_password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

Step 5: Configure s-cart

In the s-cart directory, copy the file config/app.php.example to config/app.php.

cd /path/to/s-cart
cp config/app.php.example config/app.php

Open config/app.php in a text editor and modify the following configurations:

'db' => [
    'host' => 'localhost',
    'name' => 's_cart',
    'user' => 's_cart_user',
    'pass' => 's_cart_password',
    'port' => '',
],

Step 6: Setup s-cart

Now we need to setup s-cart by running the following command:

php artisan sc:install

Step 7: Configure Apache

To configure Apache to run s-cart, we need to create a virtual host.

Create /etc/httpd/conf/extra/s-cart.conf:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/extra/s-cart.conf

Add the following configuration to the file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/path/to/s-cart/public"
    ServerName your-domain.com

    <Directory "/path/to/s-cart">
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace /path/to/s-cart with your actual s-cart directory and your-domain.com with your actual domain name.

Now we need to enable the newly created virtual host:

sudo ln -s /etc/httpd/conf/extra/s-cart.conf /etc/httpd/conf/sites-enabled/

Restart Apache for the changes to take effect:

sudo systemctl restart httpd

Step 8: Access s-cart

You can now access your s-cart installation by going to http://your-domain.com in your web browser.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed s-cart on Manjaro Linux. You can now start building your online store with s-cart. We hope this tutorial was helpful to you.

If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!

Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
